Life's Timeouts


I'm supposed to be working on my manuscript. Instead, I have been distracted recently, while having fun in gorgeous Florida weather!

---We flew to N.J. for the baptism of twin grandsons and the birthday of their three-year-old sister.
---Right after we returned, our two granddaughters from Massachusetts arrived in Delray Beach with their Mom for a visit.
---I played tennis three times, worked out at the fitness center three times, and walked four miles.
---I spent time emailing and snail-mailing former high school classmates about the upcoming reunion in Connecticut in October.
---I attended a lecture and a writer's critique group.

All of these things are on my "bucket list," so I don't know why I feel guilty about not writing. But I do!
